Has, is, and always will be a problem with some fairboards. They want their money to spend on pet projects for their fair but expect promoters to foot the bill for improvements so the fair board will receive more money they won't reinvest in the track. On the other end of this thinking is when a fairboard, town and promoter work together to expand and improve their biggest money maker. Port Royal Speedway was an after thought in the minds of most race fans years ago but has become benchmark for the other race tracks in that highly competitive racing region. Tyler County has no competition from other area tracks and therein lies part of the problem. They don't need to add modern creature comforts but they do need to upgrade their basic infrastructure.

New boards on the bleachers would go a long way there, and it wouldn’t be particularly expensive, just labor intensive.Originally posted by bleedblue55 View PostHas, is, and always will be a problem with some fairboards.

My insurance company always did a preseason inspection which included an order to replace all the bad boards in the bleachers, eliminate trip hazards in the grandstand areas, etc. Those things were non negotiable.Member of the Luxemburg Speedway Hall of Fame

Tyler has actually replaced the majority of the bleacher boards on the front stretch the past couple year, but the back stretch still need a lot of attentionJonA www.luvracin.com
